Empowering parents

Parent-to-Parent communication App

The Law prohibits your school from sharing other parents’ details with you. mySircles app connects you with the other parents in your child’s class through a secure group managed by your school’s PTA. Just imagine how much easier life would be, if all your school contacts and communications were in one place. Confusion about homework, lost uniform, struggling for help with pick up, are all a thing of the past!

If you are interested in mySircles, register your interest here and you will be notified as soon as
it is available later this year.

myPins

Try out this feature of pinning important information to your very own pinboard – super organised and no need to go scrolling through messages looking for information.

When can I have mySircles at my school?

mySircles went live with the first school earlier this year.

We have launched Kickstarter to raise funds, so that the app can be developed further and made available nationwide. Parents everywhere will be able to easily connect with each other and the Parent Teacher Associations (PTAs) will also have a tool that they can use to communicate directly with parents.

Funding on Kickstarter is all-or-nothing. No one is charged for a pledge towards a project unless it reaches its funding goal. We believe that parents and ultimately children, will benefit from an easier way of connecting, communicating and collaborating on all things to do with school.

In return, we will shine your name in lights on our website, as pioneers of mySircles and be eternally grateful, that together we are empowering parents everywhere.

“mySircles is a quick and efficient way for parents to communicate and connect with each other; to ask each other the kind of incidental questions they might ask each other at the school gates. Over the years Spinney parents have used their initiative to organise What’sApp and Facebook groups, so we know that the need for an APP like this is out there. However the challenge is that some of these social media platforms are not systems that a school is able to endorse as the ways that these can be used may not necessarily fit with our acceptable use policy or our values.

mySircles seems like the perfect solution! This easily downloadable app allows parents to invite other parents to the group but with one parent possibly from the PTA starting things off and liaising with the school we can ensure that all the right information gets to our families quickly and easily when they need it. And best of all they can ask each other! It’s the wisdom of the crowd!

We have decided to roll mySircles out across the school. We were planning just to start with our new intake, but once other parents had found out about mySircles they wanted to get involved too. Babita has offered to run a training session starting with one key mySircles parent from every year group. We are really looking forward to getting going as mySircles fits so well with a number of our core Spinney values including Learning, Excellence and Community.”

“As a school we are always eager to maximise and simplify the ways we communicate with parents and we acknowledge that parent-to-parent communications are as valuable as school-to-parent communications for our broader school community. Revisions to Data Protection laws a number of years ago now prohibit us from distributing parent contact details as part of class lists. Therefore the development and implementation of apps designed to overcome this hurdle will be much welcomed by us at St Faith’s and no doubt throughout the education sector.”
